DEBATE 

 Topic : The EU.

According to Simon Usherwood, political scientist, France is most likely to follow the British example in a Frexit.

In the last Viavoice poll, December 2021, only 63 % of the French citizens would like to stay in the EU and 66% in the € zone. 

QUESTIONS :  

- Who are the supporters of the Brexit ?
